NMU's can be made through mentors - that isn't the problem. You still need to follow the guidance in the Developer Reference: http://www.uk.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu During a release freeze, bugs that are severity normal or less are rarely worth an NMU and you've also targetted unstable which isn't a good idea during the release freeze. > I didn't done it out of ill will. Fine, but you haven't explained why you want to do it now rather than waiting for after the Lenny release (which may well be what the maintainer is doing). The imperative now is to get the full details into the bug report and wait. So far, the maintainer has had no communication from you since August, what makes you think he is willing to accept an NMU? In the meantime, the package should still be removed from mentors IMHO. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
